Main characters
BJ Wilson
The main character. BJ is a sarcastic, wise-cracking, self-absorbed, intelligent, arrogant, and somewhat bossy 11-year-old boy. He wears large, circle-shaped glasses and has a lack of nose (along with his family) but was able to smell. According to Geo G, BJ's full name was named after English rock drummer B. J. Wilson.
Wally Wilson
BJ's adaptive brother and best friend. He is a clumsy, empathetic, but smart, skinny boy who lost his family on a plane crash and is willing to trust and befriend anyone.
Alan Wilson
BJ's bigger brother. He is aged 20.
Janet Wilson
The caring mother of BJ, Wally, and Alan. Her husband is never seen or mentioned; therefore it is deductible that they are either divorced or he is deceased.
Other characters
- Nina — BJ's girlfriend.
- Jimmy and Jane — A wacky, dim-witted couple who often mess around in their house.
- Cal — A scientist and inventor.
- Dr. Pockgins — A doctor.
